What is the best loudspeaker for a small room?


I have a very small audio room, 16 ft (L) X 14ft (W) X 8 ft (H). What are my options if I want a floor standing loudspeakers? Of course price is an issue but maybe I can equate the price later on based on the performance of the speaker. I enjoy listening to almost all types of music using pass labs pre xp20 and power xa100.5 amps.

I aggree with the above. DOn't get speakers that are to big but get ones that fit the room. Sounds like you really need to walk into some dealers and listen a bit and see waht you like once you give us some feedback we can recomend similar speakers to your taste. Some dealers will even let you take speakers home to try.
I have Maggie 3.6's in a 15x12 room and they sound great. You're room is not small

Merlins should work - you will have excellent detail resolution and bass will not be lacking in a room that size.
That room isn't small. I use Quad 22L2s in a 11x12 room. I started with B&W 685s, but needed bigger sound. You should seriously consider floorstanders in that room.
